Add notes to Activities

Consider providing the ability to edit activities entries.  As an example, a weightlifter may set an activity for weights  on the Ionic.  The ability to edit that entry would give the ability to add specifics ie arms, chest, back, etc. as well as a potential notes section to record other pertinent info about the session. This would apply across almost any activity discipline; run, row, cycle etc..  In addition, provide the ability to edit the date when entering an activity from the dashboard, without having to delete the activity and start over.  Thanks in advance

At times I forget to log in to app until after I start walking or log out after I complete it. If I forget to log out, easy to edit the time I stopped. But I would like to make a note saying what time I started. And if my Sense is counting my steps anyway, maybe it could figure how many steps I took in that time

I would like to suggest that you add a notes tab/section for logged workouts.

After a workout, I would like to be able to make a note or comment about it. Things like, how I feel afterwards or if I was working through a cold that could affect my intensity or total times. Sometimes, I just want to talk to myself about a interesting bird I saw during a run.

I'd like to be able to manually add personal notes to my runs (such as sore spots, which shoes I wore, and more).

Because I am a stroke survivor, I must hold onto the treadmill when walking. The Fitbit doesn’t record the steps or distance. Can I either adjust the miles or you guys include a short note feature so I can write the correct distance.

Please add a feature to the mobile app to add comments to your activities. That would be very helpful for further notes on the training. For example, you could note today's form or other factors (heat, cold, etc.).

When logging daily exercises such as "Weight Training, " it would be nice to be able to add notes to day what muscle groups your worked, or exact exercises to you have a log of what you actually did during that session with more detail than the generic exercise category.

I recently switched to Fitbit from a different brand. One of the things I used a lot in the app associated with my old watch was the ability to add notes to activities. I would add notes describing what I did in the session. Unfortunately the Fitbit app does not provide the ability to add notes. Please add this feature.

It would be great if there was a notes section to be able to enter workout notes. Also we should be able to enter a workout manually that does not exist in the preset list of exercises.

We need some way to add comments or notes after we do a workout. For noting type workout(chest, legs, etc), or intensity, identifying run location and such.
